LEMON BARS RECIPE



Lemon Bars Recipe image

These are not the flimsy, thin lemon bars you see all over the internet! My recipe makes the best lemon bars ever - thick shortbread crust with that creamy tart lemon filling! If you've been disappointed with other recipes you have to give my recipe a try - I know you will love it.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 medium lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 medium lemons)
Powdered sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 or an 8x8 pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Make the crust by creaming the butter with a hand or a stand mixer (fitted with the paddle attachment) until smooth. Add powdered sugar, flour, and salt and mix slowly until the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when you press it between your fingers. Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 13 minutes, or until it just starts to get a light golden brown around the edges.
  • While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs until beaten. Whisk in the sugar, lemon zest, salt, and lemon juice. Pour over hot crust, then continue to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the mixture is no longer liquid in the center and it's lightly golden brown on top.
  • Cool completely before removing from pan. Remove foil, then dust with powdered sugar. Slice and serve, dusting with more powdered sugar as desired.

LEMON CREAM CHEESE BARS



Lemon Cream Cheese Bars image

Nothing brings a recipe to life like fresh lemons! For a change of pace from the standard Southern-style lemon bars, you need to look no further! This recipe is easy and the taste is divine. I have also made this with Splenda® and low-fat cream cheese and they were just as wonderful.
